Chapter 137: Wedding

He Yuxiang thought of the award certificate and nodded.

But he didn't expect that after he arrived home, Teacher Lin gave him thirty yuan, ten kilograms of meat coupons, twenty kilograms of grain coupons, and five milk powder coupons as if by magic.

"I'm sorry that my family has caused you harm again."

He bowed ninety degrees.

Seeing his face flushed red, Chen Qing expressed deep sympathy: "It has nothing to do with you. It's not easy for you either."

Teacher Lin stood up with a forced smile.

His family has been a laughing stock lately.

"There's also a certificate for Xiao He. I'll take her home first."

"good."

Chen Qing nodded and politely saw them out.

Yang Yihe: "Goodbye, auntie."

Her voice was polite but a little timid.

Chen Qing smiled at her gently: "Goodbye."

Yang Yihe's eyes curved slightly, and she followed Teacher Lin obediently.

He Yuxiang: "I thought you would hate Yang Yihe."

Chen Qing: "Let's put it this way."

Children are not good at disguising themselves, and she can clearly feel the kindness emanating from Yang Yihe.

According to the setting of the original novel that Yang Xiujin is a crazy daughter lover, Chen Qing only hopes that Yang Xiujin would not eat his own cubs even if he is a tiger.

She walked back into the house, looked at the bills on the table, and glared at He Yuxiang.

An expression that said, 'If you dare to take all of them, you'll be dead.'

He Yuxiang: "Half each."

Chen Qing: "Okay."

Just enough to pay Talia back.

With a large sum of money in his hands, He Yuxiang's savings exceeded 40. He put the money away and went to ask his aunt for ointment.

Chen Qing: "What's wrong?"

"Xiaoyu fell down while jumping rope." He Yuxiang said.

Chen Qing frowned and looked at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu quickly hid herself.

He Yuxiang took the ointment to the backyard, grabbed his sister by the back of her collar, pulled her to the main hall, and coldly told her to stand still. He squatted down, rolled up her trouser legs, and applied the ointment on her.

Uncle He Yuan bought a famous Baiyao ointment from a certain place. It won’t be as noticeable as gentian violet when applied.

After wiping it, He Yuxiang stared at his silent sister and scolded her coldly, "Don't you have any sense of propriety when playing games? The rope is higher than your head, and you still want to jump! What do you want to do?"

After scolding, He Yuxiang went to work.

Xiaoyu was scolded by her brother. She sniffed, lowered her head, stood with her feet turned inward, grabbed the clothes in front of her belly with both hands, and stood there aggrieved and silent.

Chen Qing took a peek.

My heart is broken.

Xiaoyu burst into tears: "Auntie~"

Chen Qingxin softened and everyone stood up.

He Yuxiang came out holding a hatchet.

Chen Qing shrank back again.

He Yuxiang stood in front of his sister fiercely: "Don't hurt your body in the future, understand?"

Xiaoyu nodded obediently.

He Yuxiang: "Go play."

He turned back to chop wood.

My sister is still young, but she is already very sensible and well-behaved.

He didn't want to punish her.

He has always hoped that his sister could be like other children, have friends, play favorite games, and grow up happily.

But the prerequisite is: you have to be in good health.

Xiaoyu was freed and went to work quickly to avoid making her brother angry.

Chen Qing watched them getting along through the window and sincerely felt that He Yuxiang was a good brother.

"Xiaoyu, collect the clothes."

A woman's voice came from the door. Chen Qing looked over and stood up and asked, "Sister Zhang, are you out of confinement?"

"Almost done." Zhang Dongmei said with a smile, "During this period, I have been asking my cousin in the countryside to take over my job. Having a child has a lot of expenses, so I'm thinking about going back to work as soon as possible. Are you busy?"

"No, please sit down." Chen Qing asked her to sit down. Teacher Lin came by just in time and the family had boiled tea. She went to get some brown sugar and made a cup of brown sugar water for Zhang Dongmei.

"You're so polite." Zhang Dongmei was very surprised when she got the eggs from her some time ago, and she was a little flattered to see that she was willing to make brown sugar water for herself again.

"It's okay, drink it."

Chen Qing was cautious.

Zhang Dongmei burst out laughing: "I'm not that fragile. Women in the village have to go to the fields right after giving birth if they encounter a double harvest."

Chen Qing sighed: "It's really not easy."

Zhang Dongmei smiled and got down to business: "When my daughter is one month old, you can bring the two children to have dinner."

"Ah? What's the number?"

"There's no need to ask for leave the day before Mid-Autumn Festival. You can just come at noon."

"OK."

Chen Qing really likes to attend weddings.

"That's great. What a coincidence! My village will slaughter a pig the day before the baby's full moon. My father will send some pig-slaughtering dishes from the village. You can come and try some."

Zhang Dongmei smiled and handed over the menu.

Seeing Chen Qing's reaction, Zhang Dongmei looked at Xiaoyu and He Yuxiang again and praised them, "You have raised them well."

"It's okay."

Chen Qing pretended to be modest.

The corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

Zhang Dongmei continued to praise: "Xiaoyu has gained some weight on her face, and I think Yuxiang is also much more energetic. These two children have good-looking parents, and they are also good-looking."

Chen Qingli praised her child frequently.

Zhang Dongmei felt guilty after listening to this. She finished drinking the brown sugar water and said goodbye: "I have finished my business. I will not disturb you for now. Come and play again when I have the chance."

"Okay, take care."

Chen Qing sent her out, and hurried back to ask He Yuxiang: "We gave her eggs before, do we need to give her something when we go to the wedding?"

He Yuxiang's eyes were blank for two seconds before he said, "If you go alone, you don't have to. If you take us two, you have to give us a red envelope or something else."

"How much money should I put in the red envelope?"

"50 cents."

"Isn't it a bit too little? They have meat dishes!"

"That's enough. There will be at most one meat dish, and the rest will definitely be vegetarian."

According to his experience, if there are two meat dishes, they will definitely tell everyone in advance so that the host can make back his investment.

"That's fine."

Chen Qing had an idea in mind.

She went back to the house and looked around, but there was no money wrapped in red paper as a red envelope.

“Do we have red paper at home?”

He Yuxiang: "No, go get a candy and give it to a grandpa and he will give you a small piece of red paper. Otherwise, it's very expensive to buy a piece of red paper."

They don't have much social interaction as a family, so it would be a waste to go out of their way to buy something for them.

According to what He Yuxiang said, Chen Qing went to the slum to find an old man to exchange the red paper. When he was leaving with the red paper, he happened to run into He Yuan who was carrying two plates of food back to the house.

A dish of mapo tofu.

A dish of steamed eggplant with garlic.

He Yuan's eyes lit up: "Are you here to see me?"

"No." Chen Qing shook the red paper in his hand: "I came to see an old man. Researcher He eats very simply."

He had two dishes but both were small portions and had no meat.

Before, a lot of dried seafood were stuffed into her mouth, and now she can basically eat some meat every day.

On the contrary, what he eats is just ordinary.

He Yuan explained: "It takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and it's not convenient to cook complicated dishes. I hope I can have more time when I buy a bicycle."

Chen Qing was shocked: "You want to buy a bicycle!"

Even the eavesdropping neighbors pricked up their ears.

He Yuan nodded: "I completed a task and the organization rewarded me with a bicycle ticket."

The lady couldn't help but ask, "What mission is it? How come we don't know about it? Could it be that the factory director is giving you researchers some special treatment?"

He Yuan: "It's just a project that helped the country save a few million."

Laughter was heard all around.

The lady suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
